Canaries Taken Over
Norwich City FC announced earlier today that Chairman Alan Bowkett and will be replaced by new owner Joe Lewis. Joe had recently sold his majority share in Tottenham Hotspur to Daniel Levy as he was 'seeking pastures new'. The new owner is worth a total of £2.8 billion and wants to help Norwich do well.
He said earlier: "I am delighted to have the chance to own such an amazing club. I was seeking a new challenge and I believe I left Tottenham in a good way. I will be changing the structure of the team including the manager as he does not fit my plans for this club. I am happy with the board room but will look to bring in a few of my own faces. I have already put Ian Crook, the former player as one of the executives as a member of the board that the players and fans can relate to. Margaret Byrne joins me from Sunderland as my Financial advisor. The final person to join me and be the face of the club will be Niall Quinn. He will be the chairman whereas I will be the man who is running the club from behind closed doors. I know the English game and the people involved so that is an advantage. I expect to have appointed the manager by Friday.
